Background: The thorough preparation of preterm babies for release home is strongly linked to the decision-making process about their discharge and has a significant impact on their health outcomes. It is crucial in facilitating a seamless transition from the hospital to their home environment. Methods: This paper examines the concept, research sig

ABSTRACT Gamification in mathematics is an interactive pedagogy that can be used to increase students’ interests. In learning mathematical concepts like trigonometric topics, more interactive activities and engagement platforms are proposed to help the students’ understanding. An online game called Trigo-Tricks (TT) was created so that students

Liver transplantation is a very efficient remedy for liver ailments in children, and with advancements in technology, the anticipated survival rate after the surgery has also increased. Nevertheless, as a result of insufficient medical resources and the implementation of the quick rehabilitation approach, children are often released from the hospit

Abstract: The Math Clinic at the Centre for Foundation Studies, IIUM, offers additional support for students in the Statistics subject. Understanding students’ perceptions of this support service is important for improving its effectiveness. This study aims to evaluate students’ perceptions of the Math Clinic’s effectiveness, including the qu

Selective anti-estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) have been shown to reduce the size of pituitary tumors. However, their clinical effect on nonfunctioning pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PitNET) in humans has not yet been established. We conducted a randomized controlled trial of tamoxifen versus conservative treatment in postoperative patien

The issue in your hands pursues the rationales for Islamisation with A.2.2 Mission #3. Islamisation or Islamicisation encompasses all aspects of life. In IIUM’s context as a university, it is categorised as two intertwined bearings: a. Academic, and b. Non-academic. Whilst these may loosely be referred to as Islamisation of Human Knowledge (IOHK)

Enzymatic browning is of concern as it can affect food safety and quality. In this study, an effective and safe tyrosinase inhibitor and anti-browning agent, methyl 4-pyridyl ketone thiosemicarbazone (4-PT), was synthesised and characterised using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, CHNS elemental analysis, and proton (1H) and carbon-13

Nanoemulsions, characterized by their nanosized particles ranging from 20 to 200 nm, are effective carriers for drug molecules. Our novel oil-in-water nanoemulsion, NE-FLO™, formulated from lemon and fish byproduct oils, demonstrates promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, with initial studies indicating nontoxicity to normal skin

Administration of selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and anti-estrogens has been shown to reduce the size of pituitary tumors. However, previous studies were performed on animal pituitary tumors or tissue cultures. We administered oral tamoxifen to a postoperative patient with a nonfunctioning pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (NF-PitNET)

This is CENTRIS’s special publication dedicated on bringing to fore Islamisation discourse, one important point per issue— ONE pearl at a time from the Precious String, which al-Marḥūm Emeritus Professor Tan Sri Dr. Mohd Kamal Hassan (IIUM’s third Rector) had meticulously strung in his “Islamicisation / Islamisation of Human Knowledge in
